It's interesting in that we both have 2006 LE models and both have problems with the fit. I thought there might be an issue with the air scoop, as well, but have to get the box fitted, first. I wish my 2008 SE was around for me to see if the engine compartment under the air box is different.HoneyMonster256 wrote:I had the same issue with my volant. I ended up saying screw it and just used the one bolt to hold it in place I also had to modify the side air scoop to fit as well, I had to cut it down a little in order for it to fit and even now it still slips off every now and then.
You would probably get a better fit if you cut off the extension bracket off of the ABS actuator mount bracket and used the two bottom mount points. This would at least line up the box with the fenderwell opening and let the box sit as it should in the engine compartment. If you E-mail John Oravec, the Volant tech support rep, he could send you the same spacers that he sent to me. You'll only need the two, 8mm spacers, which provide a nice mounting between bottom of the air filter box and the engine compartment. I almost did this, but still had concerns about whether the missing upper mount wouldn't allow enough tension between the seal and the inner fenderwell. As yours is currently mounted with just the top mount and there is a big gap between the inner fenderwell opening and your seal, it would serve as a better fit for you cut off that upper bracket as at least everything would line up properly, IMO. Take a look at what you got and see if it might work better for you.HoneyMonster256 wrote:I ended up doing a full relocate on the Horn it was much easier & faster for me. As far as the box, I still only have the upper screw tightened down and it holds the box just fine, even with the foam and everything its not a tight seal. I will do a double check on the ram air scoop to confirm the location stated.
